Shelly Plus Add-On - command to retrieve temperature status

[Frantisek]

Old Shelly addon works with command
msg.payload = msg.status.ext_temperature["1"].tC;

With the new shelly addon I would assume this command

payload.temperature100.tC

but it doesn't work. I've tried different variations but no luck.

e.g.

msg.payload = msg.status.temperature["100"].tC

msg.payload = msg.status.temperature100["100"].tC

Thanks in advance for the advice

Hi @Frantisek

In order to provide the help - please show us the incoming data and highlight what data you want from it.

Not a screen shot please , but an example payload

Plenty of Shelly users here

There is no status property.
Marcus asked for the debug value, which you can get as shown below.

There’s a great page in the docs (Working with messages : Node-RED) that will explain how to use the debug panel to find the right path/value for any data item.

Pay particular attention to the part about the buttons that appear under your mouse pointer when you over hover a debug message property in the sidebar.

The path to the property value should be some thing like payload.temperature100.tc You then prefix with msg.

There is no status property.

Maybe you should reread my post.

Still not working.

Status is the status output from the shelly node.

With old version Shelly addon works with command
msg.payload = msg.status.ext_temperature["1"].tC;

Copy path old shelly temperature addon is:
payload.ext.temperature["0"].tC

Copy of path is different than a function command

Shely plus 1 + new addon + temperature snsors

Miraculously, it works today.
To get the value, the command works (as we all assumed yesterday)
msg.payload = msg.payload.temperature100.tC;

Thanks E1cid and marcus-j-davies
for your support in solving this mysterious problem. Thanks Frantisek

Finally I can use these variables from the gen2 shelly.
